(see “2 Safety”).
5.1 How it works
The X BO steam oven creates the steam in the
oven chamber itself with full heat output by water
being dispensed onto the fan wheel. Unlike external
steam generation, this technology enables rapid
adjustment and therefore the best and uniform
cooking results. In comparison, the BORA X BO
manages with a little less heat as it circulates hot air
at high speed and it is therefore transferred onto the
food faster.

When running the cleaning programme, the oven
rack is used as a support for the BORA cleaning
cartridge. This is placed in the centre of the oven
rack. The raised edge on the oven rack prevents the
food from sliding off.
X Insert the food support on a shelf level with the
raised edge facing the oven.
The measures below can be taken to prevent
deformation:
X Preheat the X BO without the food supports.
X Load the food supports evenly.
X Use the food supports as instructed.
X Use a suitable tray or tin for pizzas, round cakes
and similar and place this on the oven rack.
X Avoid placing cold food or water directly on the
hot food support.
X Use the universal tray for searing and roasting.

5.4 Food thermometer
Thanks to the four-point food thermometer, you can
reliably determine the core temperature of the food.
It is located at the top of the oven chamber
and is connected to the appliance by a cable. The
food thermometer is inserted into the food that
is to be cooked. There are four measuring points
along the probe that always detect the coldest
area in the food. Once the food has reached the
pre-programmed target temperature, the cooking
process automatically finishes.
X Take the food thermometer out of the holder.
X Insert the food thermometer into the thickest part
of the food.

Symbols/

mode
Meaning
Hot air
The ‘hot air’ operating mode evenly
browns dishes thanks to an intensive hot
air flow.
Bake with
humidity
When using the ‘bake with humidity’
operating mode, water is added to the
hot air flow. The water is vaporised and
so creates a humid environment in the
oven chamber. This means that dishes do
not dry out as much and remain moist.
This is especially ideal for casseroles,
meat and fish dishes,
cheesecakes and
dry cakes.
Steam
At temperatures up to 100°C and
maximum humidity, the ‘steam’ operating
mode is a particularly gentle cooking
method. The food is cooked at a lower
temperature and so retains its natural
flavourings, nutrients and vitamins. It
is ideal for vegetables, fish and tender
meat, among others. Dumplings are also
typically steamed.
Hot air grill
Thanks to the targeted removal of moist
air from the oven chamber and the
addition of fresh air in the chamber,
the ‘hot air grilling’ mode intensively
browns food and favours the formation
of cooking residues. It is particularly
suitable for grilling meat, sausages and
vegetables and for cooking dishes au
gratin.

towels, warm up baby food, refresh bread and rolls.
Sous-vide cooking
If you don’t have a vacuum sealer, you can simply
use a zip seal bag instead: place the food in the bag
and close it, leaving a small opening. Immerse the
bag upright in water until the waterline reaches the
zip and the air is pushed out of the bag. Then close
up the opening. The vacuum bag is ready.

disposal
Disposal of transport packaging
i
The packaging protects the appliance from
damage during transport. The packaging
materials have been selected taking into
account the environment and their disposal
and are therefore recyclable.
Recycling the packaging saves raw materials and
reduces waste. Your specialist retailer will take the
packaging back.
X Give the packaging to your specialist retailer
or
X dispose of the packaging correctly observing
regional regulations.
Disposal of accessories
X Dispose of unnecessary or used accessories
(activated charcoal filters, etc.) accordingly taking

be obtained from the city or local
councils.
Waste electrical and electronic appliances often
still contain valuable materials. However, they also
contain harmful substances that were necessary to
make them work and ensure their safety. If placed in
the household waste or handled incorrectly, they may
harm human health and damage the environment.
X Never dispose of your old appliance in the
household waste.
X Take the appliance to a regional collection point for
the return and further processing of electrical and
electronic components and other materials.
X Observe all safety and warning information
(see “2 Safety”).
